A Platformer like nothing seen before, explore this open-world puzzler in multiple dimensions on a journey to find your maker. Poncho is a new kind of game where the player navigates by switching between 3 "layers" in 3D in order to explore a 2D world. "Poncho" is a robot who wakes up in a post-post-post apocalypse world, where humanity has been wiped from the face of the earth many centuries ago but have left their robotic creations behind. The only thing the little robot has to remember his father is the poncho he used to wear, which he takes up himself, thus, his name.
